Four $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to students who come to “FAFSA Frenzy” events to participate and enter the drawing. Metropolitan Community College-Blue River will be hosting two “FAFSA Frenzy” events the weekend of Friday, March 25th and Saturday, March 26th, 2011.
You may be familiar with the FAFSA application. It’s the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and it’s one of the first steps any college student should take toward obtaining financial assistance to fund their higher education. All colleges and universities consider the FAFSA when determining who should be awarded need-based financial aid. The Missouri Department of Higher Education urges students to complete their FAFSA as early as possible and most certainly before April 1st to receive timely consideration.
Participants are asked to bring these items to the “FAFSA Frenzy” at MCC-Blue River:
· 2010 W-2 forms
· Copies of 2010 tax forms, if they are ready, or any year-end pay stubs, statements of interest earned in 2010, 2009 tax forms, 1099 forms, and any other forms required to complete taxes
· Student PIN and parent PIN. These can be obtained at http://www.pin.ed.gov/
Students who attend a “FAFSA Frenzy” event will be entered into a drawing to win one of four $1,000 scholarships to be awarded to four attendees who participate in one of the many FAFSA Frenzy events that are being held this winter at several locations across Missouri. All students receive gift bags with helpful information for planning and paying for college.
“FAFSA Frenzy” at MCC-Blue River, Friday, March 25, 2011 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 26, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
